In celebration of the birthday of King Kamehameha III, Kauikeaouli, the Puana Ka ‘Ike Lecture Series presents Dr. Keanu Sai at 5:308 p.m. Friday, March 12, 2010 in the Bayview Meeting Rooms of the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa.In his presentation, “Kamehameha III and the Transformation of Hawaiian Land Tenure,” Sai will recount the events that transformed Hawai’i’s land tenure system during the reign of His Hawaiian Majesty King Kamehameha III. He will cover the establishment of the Board of Commissioners to Quiet Land Titles; the Great Mahele (Division) between the Government, Chiefs/Konohiki, and the Native Tenants; and the meaning of the clause “reserving the rights of native tenants.” His presentation includes a viewing of the documentary Ua mau Ke Ea: Sovereignty Maintained.For more information on the lecture, contact Natalie Deisroth at 808-322-0088, ext. 100 or e-mail info@kohalacenter.org.
This must have been a landmark (no pun intended) presentation. Any chance the Kohala Center will send you a video of Dr. Sai’s presentation of his research for the HKI Blog?
I assume the event was videotaped. I’ll check with Keanu to see if that is so, and if it might be available to post online, or if they plan to air it on ‘Olelo.
